To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It will have to be done as soon before the fowl arrive in the morning as possible, say from six to seven o'clock. A small flat boat, and a long iron-shod pole, needs be always at hand. The boat can be lifted out of the water and hidden out of sight during the day, or, what is better, concealed in a boat harbour roofed with planks and turf. Some extra grain can be thrown to the Decoy ducks (who will be hungrier than usual) during frost. By doing this judiciously, they will much assist, by their ...motions, in keeping the mouth of a favourable pipe for work clear of gathering ice. If ice forms very quickly in still corners about the pipe by day, throw some good handfuls of grain on its surface. Then the weight of tame ducks, as well very often of the wild, will break it up and force through it. In a frost, at its commencement, when fowl have soutjht the rivers and marshes for fresh water, through being frozen out of their usual haunts, it is a judicious action, on one or two occasions only, to " rise " a Decoy (early in the morning) — that is, to frighten the birds away.
